Candice is writing about characters in Wonder by R. J.
Palacio
Which best shows that Candice has made a personal
connection to understand August's character?
"You know what an eraser is, right?" Charlotte asked me.
I admit I was feeling so nervous that I didn't know what to say
or do except look at the floor.
"Hey, can you talk?" asked Jack Will.
"Yeah." I nodded. I still really hadn't looked at any of them yet,
not directly
O I understand how awkward August feels. Sometimes I get
really nervous and quiet around new people.
I am really loud around new people. I try to cover up my
shyness by being very funny and telling jokes.
August should not be so quiet around the new kids. If he
would just talk, the others will get to know him, and they
will be friends.
Jack Will and Charlotte were not very considerate of
August's feelings. New kids do not like when people ask
lots of questions.
